A great lawyer to have on your side

Terry first helped me with a speeding ticket and soon after, he also helped with an accident case which he got both dismissed. Terry is very honest with what he’ll do to get you out of the situation you’re in, only if you cooperate with him and whatever terms/advice he gives you. He’s also very reaso...nable when it comes to prices especially for the long run. If anything else happened to me, he’s the first person I would hire again.

Miracle worker

I hired Mr. Wallace and he did not fail me. He got me a compromise for 40 hours of community service and traffic school. And with it completed, the second court appearance. He dropped my 33+ speeding ticket down from a class A misdemeanor to a petty offense. And my street racing ticket (class A mis...demeanor) completely revoked. I ended up pleading guilty to a 25+ speed limit PETTY offense. It was truly a miracle case and ended very well thanks to his work. I’d highly recommend Mr. Wallace. Tho maybe not the friendliest he has your best interest at hand so when he tells you what to do you do it. He absolutely knows what he’s doing.

GREAT ATTORNEY

Handled everything for my son’s speeding ticket. Great advice and worked with us to successful resolution. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Excellent experience

I called Terry when I realized that my speeding ticket was actually a misdemeanor the day before my court date. After a brief conversation, he already knew that the hearing was scheduled at the wrong court house and that it would either be a reduced speeding violation or it would have to be reschedul...ed to a criminal court. He even offered to be there but we both felt it wouldn’t be necessary. If it was rescheduled, he’d be the first person I would contact. Luckily, the judge reduced the speeding ticket so further service was not necessary. Terry gave me confidence to walk in knowing that I would not be walking out with a misdemeanor on my record.
